Pronar T700 SECTION 1 connected with the tractor according to the requirements in this Operators Manual. The trailer brake system must be started in checked before driving off or onto ramp. The trailer should be attached firmly to the platform of the vehicle using straps or chains fitted with a tightening mechanism.
SECTION 1 Pronar T700 FIG. 1.3 Positioning of transport lugs (1) transport lug, (2) lower longitudinal frame, (3) load box DANGER Incorrect application of securing measures may cause an accident. 1.5.2 INDEPENDENT TRANSPORT BY THE USER In the event of independent transport by the user after purchase of the trailer, the user must read the trailer Operator's Manual and adhere to the recommendations contained therein.
Pronar T700 SECTION 1 1.6 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS A hydraulic oil leak constitutes a direct threat to the natural environment owing to its limited biodegradability. The negligible solubility of hydraulic oil in water does not cause extreme toxicity of organisms living in the aquatic environment. The formation of a film of oil on the water may be the direct cause of physical action on organism, perhaps causing change of oxygen values in the water because of lack of direct contact of air with the water.
SECTION 1 Pronar T700 1.7 WITHDRAWAL FROM USE In the event of decision by the user to withdraw the trailer from use, comply with the regulations in force in the given country concerning withdrawal from use and recycling of machines withdrawn from use. Before commencing dismantling, totally remove the oil from the hydraulic system and reduce air pressure completely in the pneumatic brake system (e.g.
Pronar T700 SECTION 2 2.1 BASIC SAFETY RULES 2.1.1 USE OF TRAILER • Before using the trailer, the user must carefully read this OPERATOR'S MANUAL and the WARRANTY BOOK. When operating the machine, the operator must comply with the recommendations.
SECTION 2 Pronar T700 them against falling. The above procedure should be performed by at least two persons. • In the final phase of folding the tarpaulin cover, at all times hold with one hand the top of the front frame or other permanent structural element. Non-compliance with this rule can put the user at risk of falling.
Pronar T700 SECTION 2 • Before hitching trailer to tractor check that both machines are in good technical condition. • After completing the coupling of the trailer check the safety of the hitch. • Be especially careful when hitching the machine.
SECTION 2 Pronar T700 • After changing the hydraulic oil, the used oil should be properly disposed of. Used oil or oil, which has lost its properties, should be stored in original containers or replacement containers resistant to action of hydrocarbons. Replacement containers must be clearly marked and appropriately stored.
Pronar T700 SECTION 2 • Incorrect load distribution and overloading the machine may cause the trailer to tip over or cause damage to its components. • Do NOT go or place hand between open tailgate and load box. • If the load does not pour from the raised load box immediately cease unloading.
Page 33
SECTION 2 Pronar T700 • Chocks (1), should be placed only under one wheel (one in front of the wheel, the second behind the wheel - figure (2.1)). • Do NOT move off or drive when load box is raised.
Page 34
Pronar T700 SECTION 2 • While driving on public roads the trailer must be fitted with a certified or authorised reflective warning triangle. • Periodically drain water from the air tank in pneumatic system. During frosts, freezing water may cause damage to pneumatic system components.
SECTION 2 Pronar T700 should be attached using the specifically prepared holder (2), riveted to the rear wall of the load box. • Do NOT exceed the trailer's maximum carrying capacity. Exceeding the carrying capacity may lead to damage to the machine, loss of stability while driving, scattering of the load and danger while driving.
Pronar T700 SECTION 2 • Protect tyre valves using suitable caps to avoid soiling. 2.1.8 MAINTENANCE • During the warranty period, any repairs may only be carried out by Warranty Service authorised by the manufacturer. After the expiry of the warranty period it is recommended that possible repairs to the trailer be performed by specialised workshops.
Page 37
SECTION 2 Pronar T700 • Repair, maintenance and cleaning work should be carried out with the tractor's engine switched off and the ignition key removed. Tractor and trailer should be secured using parking brake and in addition chocks should be placed beneath trailer wheel.

SECTION 4 Pronar T700 fittings: bail grabs, forks etc. The load may be loaded even higher than the load box extensions but taking care about trailer stability and proper securing and protection of load. Remember that higher loading has a negative effect on trailer stability.
Pronar T700 SECTION 4 4.5 TRANSPORTING LOADS When driving on roads, respect the road traffic regulations, exercise caution and prudence. Listed below are the key guidelines for driving the tractor and trailer combination. • Before moving off make sure that there are no bystanders, especially children, near the trailer or the tractor.
SECTION 4 Pronar T700 • When driving, comply with all road traffic regulations, indicate an intention to turn using indicator lamps, keep all road lights and indicator lights clean at all times and ensure they are in good condition. Any damaged or lost lamps or indicator lights must be immediately repaired or replaced.
